I know several ways to kill them but I’m interested if anyone has any ideas on keeping them away? Outdoors of course. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

That said, if they aren't in flower yet, I'd blast them with neem. It has a lot of repellent qualities.

The ants, themselves, are not a problem, but they may be "farming" aphids on your plants.

I didn’t know those guys carry Pyganic. Thanks for the post. I’m getting low and having trouble finding the 32oz size. Looks like they have that in stock. Pyganic will kill and control most of the pests we encounter. Including mealybugs for the OP.

Thank you thank you. Apparently ants and mealy bugs have some sort of symbiotic relationship also. I shall check them out.

Pyrethrins are my preferred, veg, creepy-crawly killer.
